Product Description
Review
Two-volume classic defence by one hard left figure of another, deftly cut down into a single volume by a younger historian of the Labour Party, whose last book was a life of Gaitskell. Brivati has reduced its bulk by cutting most of the quoted speeches down by some two-thirds, and by judicious trimmings. Bevan's greatness as an orator still shines through, as does Foot's warm admiration for him. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
When Aneurin Bevan died in 1960 he was acclaimed as an outstanding political figure, a parliamentary debater of the first order and a man of courage and personal magnetism. Yet he spent his life at the centre of a ferocious political controversy. This biography unravels the details of his life.
